The Franco-German War Of 1870, Angeline J. Koenings

Bachelors’ Theses

Volumes have been written by men, who were by far mere capable and in a better position than I, on the various phases of the great Franco-German War of 1870.

Plays Of The Quinteros, Carolyn Elizabeth Stehling

Bachelors’ Theses

Dramatic poetry began but late in Spain, though it was to flower there so brilliantly. In Spain, as in France, England, and in fact in practically all other countries, the drama grew out of the liturgical cere¬ monies of the Church. Some of them, in particular the Passion and Nativity adapted themselves readily to stage presentations.
